C2FO Powers Early Payment Programs for the World’s Largest Companies.
Discover expert insights on working capital, cash flow optimization, supply chain management and more.
We believe all businesses can and should have equitable access to low-cost, convenient capital to grow and thrive.
C2FO can help you achieve outstanding fourth-quarter KPIs and prepare for an even better new year.
For many companies, the fourth quarter is a time of higher performance and increased pressure to deliver on KPIs.
Businesses may experience their best sales and revenue growth during the last three months of the year. At the same time, costs — and the demands on cash flow — are often greater. The fourth quarter is also the last opportunity for companies to reach their annual financial goals.
C2FO Early Pay can help your company achieve all of the above.
With our industry-leading platform, businesses reward their customers for paying their invoices weeks or months earlier, offering them a discount that’s only a sliver of the invoice amount. Early Pay provides a convenient, affordable way to increase available funds quickly.
Faster payment unlocks a host of capabilities, including:
Faster payment can improve some of the most important measurements of time-oriented liquidity, including cash conversion cycle (CCC) and days sales outstanding (DSO). FinanceIQTM enhances this by providing time-series analytics and MoM/YoY benchmarks to track performance over time and help you identify patterns, risks, and opportunities relating to your cashflow metrics
By incentivizing early payment, businesses can bring in payments in 2025 instead of 2026. In turn, that could benefit year-end financial reports, bank covenant reporting and even stock prices.
With Early Pay, companies can increase their available cash without borrowing and adding debt to the balance sheet. It’s also much faster than using other sources of financing. For businesses needing additional capital, C2FO Lending Connections 1 offers referrals to trusted lending partners with options like asset-based lending, term loans, and invoice financing.
Because financing costs are so much lower, the bottom line grows stronger. Increased cash flow can also be reinvested in ways that further reduce costs — for example, negotiating better pricing with larger orders and swifter payment to vendors.
When companies and their buyers are located in different countries, there can be transaction risks. If the interest rate decreases in the buyer’s country, for example, the buyer’s currency will decrease in value, too. Assume the buyer pays their invoice in their currency. When it’s converted to the company’s currency, the company’s revenue will be lower as a result. By encouraging payment ahead of interest rate cuts or changes in currency value, companies can defuse some of that risk.
More money becomes available for purchasing equipment, upgrading the physical plant and other investments — which could set them up for increased growth next year.
Every company’s situation and needs are different, but C2FO’s team of supplier relationship managers (SRMs) can identify the best opportunities for successfully accelerating customer payments. They will consult with a company about its working capital needs and suggest tailored strategies, allowing the business to optimize its financial strategies for this year and moving forward.
With tools like FinanceIQ 2 that centralize invoice management and provide data-driven insights into buyer payment behavior, you can make more informed working capital decisions. Rather than piecing together records from scattered systems, you’ll see what’s approved, what’s pending, and how deductions affect your balance sheet—all in one place.
